Selections of the AIDS Memorial Quilt and local community AIDS Quilts will be on display at the Mizell Center beginning Saturday, November 29 and continuing through Monday, December 1 (World AIDS Day), from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily. The Mizell Center will host lectures, panel discussions and community education events will take place during those times.
As the largest community arts project in the world, the AIDS Memorial Quilt is a teaching tool to help educate people about HIV/AIDS and its continued impact today, and to remember the 700,000 U.S. lives lost in the four decades since the first cases were reported. Quilt displays help support local HIV/AIDS service organizations and LGBTQ+ centers and raise awareness about the issues of health and social justice.
This FREE community event sponsored by Eisenhower Health, HARP-PS and the Mizell Center.
